Red liquid. Where is this coming from??

[LukeD]

Every time I have my sled in a heated shop and it gets nicely thawed out, I notice this red liquid when I load it up on my sled deck. It drips off the back of my rails and onto the ground. Is it coolant, shock oil, discolouration coming off my rails or BMP bumper? Never see a red puddle on the ground if my sled stays outside and then start it to warm it up for the next time I’m riding. Never overheats (if it’s a coolant leak) and I never see a leak from the underside of the tunnel. I can only see it dripping from the rails. 23 Freeride turbo. Just trying to figure out if it’s something I need to worry about or not, as I have a big trip west coming up next month.
TIA for any tips leads!

I think doo coolant is more orange than red but that’s definitely weird and the color seems off

Almost looks like xps injector oil

Are youre shocks seals leaking?

i think the stock shock oil is red when new.
turns black when its time to change it.


Driping from The rails thats what id look for.

POwder coating isnt going to.turn to liquid.

The grease on the rear triangle pushes out on the inside of the rails, did you happen to use a reddish colored grease in there? The xps stuff which im sure the factory uses is purple so maybe not your issue.

It’s doolaid for sure

ATF in your chain case?

Doo coolant isn’t red and hardly any are, although that would seem the most likely.
I use red grease regularly and it never drips. Definitely odd for sure. Maybe try to see if it’s water or oil based next time it leaks.

seems like you may need a tampon

Could be coolant. The brp stuff in my side by side is pink. Pretty hard for it to be chaincase or injector oil back there. I'd look at your cooler and check your coolant level

Let the coolant out of my gen 4. Was definitely bright orange in the snow.
